The Esperance Branch Railway is a railway from Kalgoorlie to the port of Esperance in Western Australia.
It was lobbied for by Esperance residents to be linked into the WAGR railway network to provide land transport to their region.[1][2][3]
In the strictest terms it was an extension of the Eastern Goldfields Railway.[4]
,[5] but following the Standard Gauge project in the 1960s it ran from Kalgoorlie to Esperance, as Coolgardie was no longer connected by rail.
